'english politician harry seen dancing around rear sections of aircraft' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'english politician harry seen dancing around' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'politician' becomes 'mp' (Member of Parliament).
'harry' becomes 'nag' ('harry' can mean 'to persistently bother').
'dancing' is an anagram indicator.
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'seen' with letters rearranged gives 'enes'.
'nag' going within 'enes' is 'ennages'.
'e'+'mp'+'ennages'='EMPENNAGES'
